“Mr. Zhang, I’ve said it many times, I don’t take cases involving triads,” Ou Yongen said, frowning.
Jimmy's real name is Zhang Mingji.
If Ou Yongen hadn't addressed him as Mr. Zhang, Shen Dong would have almost forgotten his name.
Jimmy introduced, "Attorney Ou, this is Mr. Shen Dong, the real boss of our Tengfei Clothing Company."
Ou Yongen, who clearly already knew about Shen Dong, said in surprise, "You're Shen Dong?"
Seeing the refined-looking, tall, and handsome man in front of her, Au Wing-yan simply couldn't connect him with the leader of Hung Hing.
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Miss Ou, do you think I'm the kind of arrogant, domineering bastard who looks down on people?"
"Pfft"
Ou Yongen couldn't help but laugh and said, "Mr. Shen, you are quite humorous."
Shen Dong said, "Miss Ou, may we sit down?"
Ou Yongen said, "Excuse me, please have a seat. Would you like tea or coffee?"
Shen Dong sat down in a chair and said, "I like tea."
Ou Yongen nodded, picked up the phone next to her, and said, "Eileen, make two cups of tea."
Jimmy, standing next to him, was speechless.
He's come three times already, and the third time he wasn't even allowed to enter, let alone be served tea.
Does being handsome mean you get preferential treatment?
I'm good-looking too.
After the tea was served, Shen Dong took a sip, nodded, and said, "Top-grade West Lake Longjing."
Ou Yongen asked with great interest, "Mr. Shen is very knowledgeable about tea."
Shen Dong said, "The word 'research' is too heavy; I dare not accept it. I simply feel that tea is like life."
Ou Yongen asked, "What do you mean by that?"
A glint of wisdom flashed in Shen Dong's eyes as he said, "Tea is a wonderful thing, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, and encompassing all five elements and eight trigrams. It has all the elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. But it has also endured the hardships of human life, experiencing wind, sun, and rain, and finally being stir-fried in an iron pot and steeped in boiling water, which is how it brings out its own aroma. People are the same; they must first experience bitterness before they can enjoy sweetness."
"Clap clap clap clap"
Ou Yongen listened with shining eyes, clapping her hands in praise, "That's so well said. That's the most philosophical thing I've ever heard. Mr. Shen, you shouldn't be involved in the underworld, you should be a university professor."
Shen Dong waved his hand and said, "I don't have that level of ability. Miss Ou, I know you don't like gangs. To be honest, I don't either. If I had a choice, I would like to be a successful businessman and a philanthropist. The former would allow me to enjoy life freely, and the latter would allow me to gain respect in society, and I have always been working towards this goal."
Ou Yongen gave a strange smile and said, "Mr. Shen, your eloquence is far superior to Mr. Zhang's."
Shen Dong frowned and said, “I own businesses such as instant noodle factories, shoe factories, taxi companies, and garment factories. My taxi company has to hand over 20% of its profits to the Queen’s Charitable Foundation every month. At the same time, I also have to donate one million dollars every month to improve the lives of orphanages throughout Hong Kong Island. I admit that I have killed many people, but I can swear that I have never harmed a single citizen of Hong Kong Island.”
“Miss Ou, I was born an orphan and suffered a lot of scorn and ridicule from others since I was a child. Your smile just now reminded me of my childhood.”
Ou Yongen's expression changed, and she quickly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mock you, I just don't quite believe what you're saying."
Shen Dong sighed and said, "I understand. In your eyes, no one in a gang is a good person. But what I want to say is that every industry has good and bad people. I just happen to be a good person in the gang."
Jimmy, standing nearby, was secretly impressed by how Shen Dong had managed to get the arrogant female lawyer to apologize with just a few words and had firmly grasped the initiative in the conversation.
Damn, the boss is the boss, he's so awesome.
Au Wing-yan said, “Mr. Sham, all you’ve said is to persuade me to defend you. To be honest, this infringement case is open to either judgment or no judgment. After all, you didn’t use their brand and made many changes, but the changes weren’t thorough. In Hong Kong Island, there are very few law firms that are confident of winning this case, and I happen to be one of them.”
Shen Dong said, "Ms. Ou, you can tell me clearly whether you are willing to take this case. I am not the kind of person who pesters others. I have to go to court tomorrow, and I need to find a lawyer as soon as possible."
Ou Yongen raised an eyebrow and suddenly asked, "Do you know how to handle a gun?"
Shen Dong paused for a moment, then said, "Yes."
Ou Yongen asked, "Have you participated in IPSC practical shooting sports?"
Shen Dong said, "I've seen IPSC practical shooting competitions on TV. It's child's play, nothing interesting."
When Ou Yongen mentioned this IPSC practical shooting sport, Shen Dong could guess with his bare hands that she must be a fan of this shooting sport.
Shen Dong deliberately belittled the sport in order to arouse Ou Yongen's competitive spirit and thus achieve his goal.
Sure enough, Ou Yongen was a little angry and sneered, "Mr. Shen, do you dare to have a match with me at the shooting range? If you win, I will personally defend you. If you lose, this matter ends here."
Shen Dong said confidently, "I don't want to take advantage of you. How about this, if I lose, I'll donate one million in your name."
Ou Yongen was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected Shen Dong to place such a large bet, but she also believed that he often did charity work. She said, "Okay, let's go now."
Shen Dong said, "I don't have a membership card."
Ou Yongen said, "I can take you in."
Soon, Ou Yongen changed into a black, form-fitting sportswear outfit, showing off her enviable figure.
"Is my figure alright?" Ou Yongen asked generously.
Shen Dong chuckled and said, "What do you mean 'not bad'? It should be described as 'perfect'."
Ou Yongen said, "You're quite good at charming girls."
Shen Dong said, "Miss Ou, it's already noon. How about we have lunch first, and then go to the shooting range?"
Ou Yongen said, "There's a nice Western restaurant inside the shooting range; their steaks are excellent. It's on me."
Shen Dong said, "Let me do it. We can't let the lady pay."
Ou Yongen frowned and said, "Your words are full of prejudice against us ladies."
Shen Dong said, "You flatter me. I was just trying to maintain my gentlemanly conduct and had no intention of discriminating against women. Besides, my mother is also a woman. She is the person I respect most in my life, without exception."
At this point, Shen Dong recalled his mother from his previous life who was killed in a car accident caused by criminals because of him, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
Ou Yongen seemed to sense Shen Dong's sorrow and said, "You are quite different from the gangsters I've met."
